About: I’m an animal lover first! Do you need a reliable person to actively engage with your pet, cater to their individual needs, and be a great companion while you are away… it’s me ☺️. Years of experience growing up with animals of all types. I have dealt with very difficult dogs/pets and have a deep respect for each pet and their different needs/personalities. Book with me, you may just come home to a pet knowing new cool tricks 🤭 I work full time M-F 8AM-4PM with regular breaks throughout the day. I am available for all services all day Saturday’s & Sunday’s. Monday through Friday I am available to house sit (as long as I am able to go to work and return as normal), walks are available really early mornings and after 4:30PM M-F I try to keep things as close to their routine as possible and provide care as if their parents were around. Dogs outside are on a leash unless in a safe fenced area. No dogs live in the house currently so one on one care for the lovebugs🩵

“This was our first time using Rover and I think I picked a great dog lover. Tamikia was very responsive even with a last minute request. She also sent videos which helped ease my anxiety since we’ve never had anyone outside of family care for Lolo. I cannot wait to book again!”

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you're away. Whether your pet is playful, shy, young, or senior, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving and reliable hands. 🐾💕 I’m currently working part-time so I am available everyday in the mornings. I will make time for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention to ensure pets stay happy and comfortable. I treat every pet like a member of my own family and prioritize their safety and well-being at all times. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain their pet's routine, and provide a calm, loving environment.

“Jac is so great! She’s very good with both of my anxious dogs and she’s on top of her communication always! I will definitely be using her services again soon!”

About: Hi friends! I am a school psychologist & behavior consultant from Indiana ISO work while I obtain my professional licensure in Pennsylvania. I love furry friends and have never lived without pets!! I like kitties and doggos of all sizes and breeds, and promise to give your pets the same care and affection I give my own. Thank you for considering me 🤗 I am currently working part-time, and am very available throughout the week for walks, check-ins, feedings, or whatever care you need for your pets. I am most available weekdays during typical work hours. In terms of care, I like to follow specific instructions and preferences from each owner! I’m comfortable following whatever routine you have in place for your animals. I do not bring clients’ pets into my home, as we have 3 pets of our own who would start a riot if we did.

About: I love dogs and cats but am unfortunately not allowed to have them at the building where I live, so I get my fill of wags and purrs taking care of other people's pets. I'm extremely reliable and have a very flexible schedule. I have lots of experience including with large and active dogs. I live in the South Philly area. I do not drive but I have no problem traveling via Septa or regional rail. I'm flexible and available most days or evenings with a little notice. I am available for overnight stays with some notice. Last minute pop ins or walkings are usually not a problem, either. I can visit your home to take your dog for a walk, or pop in to feed the cats and clean the litter box, whatever works best for youband your furry friends. I can house sit reliably, and have plenty of experience.

“Chris has been an amazing support while taking care of my Husky Blue. He is reliable and uses clear communication to ensure I understand how my dog is doing every day. Chris is punctual and able to meet a demanding care request (5 days/week). We are lucky to have him.”

About: I have been taking care of other people's strays and rescuing feral and street animals for several years. I can manage several animals simultaneously and accommodate all of their psychological and physical needs. I have provided care for Chinchillas, Ferrets, Rabbits, cats, and dogs. Dog walking was something I did for two years for my neighbors. I am currently a cat sitter, and provide drop-in visits. In the morning I will check on the needs of any animals ie food and water. I will play and walk with them for about an hour. I will have dogs with similar temperaments play with one another. After playing and walking I will make sure they eat and rest. Throughout the day I will provide activities and enrichment for the pets. At the end of the day i will walk dogs for another hour. I care for pets in my home based on their individualized needs. Certain cats are independent and would prefer not to be touched. I will foster a positive relationship with the pet slowly, and individualize their affection based on their personalities and needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18 years old, but only more professionally within the last 6. I have dog sat households with up to 5 dogs and have experience with a varying range of discipline, age, health concerns. I also cat sit - I’ve got a kitty of my own with a big personality so any kind of cat is welcomed! I have an extremely flexible schedule that I can change weekly if needed! It is request based so I would need at least a two week notice for scheduling needs. I live in a three bedroom row home with a fenced in yard as well as a nearby fenced in field. My home accommodates crates and any other specialty needs !

About: I have been a dog owner and lover for fifteen years! I have experience with many different breads ranging from a beagle to a black lab. My pet care experience includes taking care of all the basic needs for a dog and more! I also have experience administering medicine and with different kinds of food. I have experience with varying ages up till 18 years old. I have extensive experience with senior dogs as well. I am available most of the time during the day and night! I know many parks and dogs parks in the Philadelphia area that are safe and fun for all breeds and ages. I love cuddling, walking, playing and all things dogs. I promise to take care of your dog like it was my own. Having a pet myself means that your pet will fit right into our schedule no matter the request! I work from home most of the week allowing full attention on your fur babies. I have a a secure outdoor space for play and/or bathroom time! I am always vigilant and careful to give mine and your pets the appropriate attention they need.

About: I've been an animal lover as long as i can remember. I grew up in a home with cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and geckos. As a professional pet companion, I have a handful of dedicated dog walking, checking, and house sitting clients as well as cat friends! I am looking forward to getting to know your pets personal preferences and supporting them live their best lives! I specialize in training dogs and supporting high needs pets in continuing their routines as close to normal in your absence! I have some existing dog walking/training clients and would love to add more. Let's have some adventures and promote your pets' wellness!! Flexible scheduling available. It is a vulnerable experience to allow folks into your home or to care for your loved ones. I appreciate the gravity of this and hold security and privacy in the highest regards.

About: Hi everyone! my name is Rhyeshona but I prefer Shona a 24-year-old part time child care assist that also happens to love the second kind of children, animals. Unofficially I have 10+ years of experience taking care of an assortment of pet’s due to growing up in a “zoo”. Growing up my family would get a new pet every month of the year and each one demanded different requirements. Believe me I know about giving quality time around the clock. When it comes to activeness as well as my communication I take great pride in it, that’s why I’ll have no problem updating you on your pet’s with handfuls of pictures included. Being able to spend time with animals that’s suppose to act like animals gives me peace of mind and I look forward to meeting them. Around last year I graduated with my associate’s degree in Culinary Arts. After graduation however I found myself bouncing around jobs before working in childcare until I can become my on boss. I’m looking forward to meeting both you and your beloved pet. Boardings and Drop In’s I’m always around to help. ANY QUESTIONS IN MIND? GOT A PET THAT’S NOT A CAT OR DOG BUT STILL REQUIRES CARE? DON’T HESITATE TO REACH OUT! Though I work from Monday-Friday I’m most likely always home. However when Im out I’m not the only one caring for your pet it’s a family effort. I’m available from 7am to hours late into the night during the week and weekend. My home is available for care as well as your own to broaden your options. Though I don’t have my own vehicle my communication skills and experience with public transportation allows me to stay punctual. Any size cat is in my comfort zone, for dog’s I’ll be sticking with small-medium. If your pet has a routine you’d like to keep intact I’m more then willing to stick to it to provide normalcy and training to them

About: Hi, I’m Siani! 🩵 Over the last 2+ years with Wag!, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable working with a wide variety of breeds, including Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Shih Tzus, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, French Bulldogs, Dachshunds, Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Boxers, Pit Bulls, American Bullies, Huskies, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Great Danes, mixed breeds, and cats. Handling animals has always been by favorite hobby. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just a calm and patient companion, I do my best to make every visit a textbook yet positive experience. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always treat them with the same attention and care I’d want for my own. Fun Fact: I know CPR💡 Pet care is already a big part of my daily life! I work in animal care and currently have a part-time morning schedule three days per week, which allows me to offer flexible drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I’m available throughout the week and will work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, playtime, exercise, feeding, or companionship, I’m happy to help. As an animal care professional and animal care student, I understand that every dog and cat has unique needs and personalities. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy, energetic, senior, and shelter animals. I prioritize safety, clean environments, positive handling, and careful observation. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for in your absence.

About: I’ve always grown up around animals. Dogs, cats, birds and even a turtle! I have doggy sat plenty of times in the past and I own three cats of my own. I would love to own a dog one day, which is one of the reasons I am excited to doggy sit! I currently work as a medical assistant Monday–Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but pet care is something I truly enjoy outside of work. I love spending my free time walking dogs, checking in on pets, and helping owners feel at ease when they can’t be home. I’m available most evenings during the week for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting, depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also very flexible on weekends and can often adjust my schedule to fit your preferred times. If needed, I can also be available Friday afternoons for early weekend bookings. My goal is to provide dependable care and keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well-loved — even when your work or travel schedule gets busy. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar space. I follow their normal routines, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure all care instructions are followed exactly. I treat every home with respect — checking that doors are locked, water bowls are full, and everything is tidy before I leave. Safety and trust are always my top priorities, and I’m happy to share updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are well cared for.

“Michael was fantastic! Another walker canceled on me with little notice and Michael was able to accommodate me at the last minute, coming to meet my dog the day after I reached out to him. He was great with my dog and included important details in his daily reports.”

“Matthew is awesome! He’s reliable, energetic, has such a positive outlook, and our greyhound, Guinness, LOVES his walks with him. He treats Guinness like he was one of his own pets. The notifications with pictures, videos, and maps of their walks are very helpful, giving me piece of mind that our best bud is being handled properly in our absence. Since this can be a source of anxiety for me during my “in-office” work days, I feel much better knowing that Matt will come through when we need him. Thanks, Matt. We really appreciate your help last week!”

About: Having grown up with dogs and cats (...and a couple birds and a hedgehog), and working in pet care/pet sitting on and off for about 12 years I've seen and known a lot of weird, wonderful, sweet, and silly pets. I think my attention to detail sets me apart. I want to know what keeps your fur babies calm & happy. I want to know what stresses them out so we can steer clear: whether it's the sound of skateboards or rolling suitcases, fellow wildlife, or even people. I'm ready to redirect your nearly perfect pet away from their favorite forbidden roadside snack. I also have experience administering medications. I look forward to working with you! I currently do pet care and pet sitting part time and some other gig work (varies from week to week) while I look for other full-time work. I aim to mimic your pets lifestyle when they're in my care to make things as comfortable as possible for them. We're gonna cuddle, we're gonna play!
